  • UPDATED WEEKLY

This podcast is the opposite of gossip because we talk about ourselves -- not others. Think about the kinds of conversations you would have with someone sitting on the beach without distractions and nothing but time. We discuss direct topics, raw opinions, and controversial questions with the hope that those listening practice understanding instead of judgement. This isn't about what you believe. This is about listening to what someone else believes to be able to understand their perspective and love them more fully. Questions, comments, suggestions, etc? Email: beachtalkpodcast@gmail.com
